Do you believe feedback matters? Do you think feedback affects decisions?
the only feedback the matters is people unsubbing.
we told them for months that removing flying was bad, azerite power was bad, covenant restrictions were bad, they did not listen until everyone started to quit over it.

nah, feedback doesn’t mean much. think with your wallet, not with your mouth
i dont want to push back but im unsure if even unsubing matters in this wacky world.

Yes, I think feedback matters. If a whole bunch of people are having similar complaints about something, I’d take it seriously.
No, I don’t think they follow through with what they get and will always follow their plan first. Whether that is because they move at a snails pace or the house of cards is collapsing is anyone’s guess.

i believe it does. ever since that korthia patch Blizzard has begun to listen to players more and more. they still have a long way to go especially when it comes to class design and pvp, but at least we dont have a dragonflight feature that is obviously horrendous like covenants were.
We literally watched Blizz post about how they’re changing WQs to be daily and then the forums scream and them reverse the decision a few hours later. So yep.
We even had a good decision come out of it when they changed the Trading Post achievement outfit to be three outfits instead of one, because of feedback.

Depends, sometimes
But when it comes to beta most of the time they just do this with the feedback
Honestly I’m not sure. If feedback matters I feel like the whole community council thing would’ve gotten some results by now, but on the other hand we have seen them change things when subs started dropping.
So I think the only feedback they care about is shareholders getting mad about money
wait what where?
straight over the head like above.
Look at the lightning quick about face they did on the renown requirement for pathfinder.
I think it helps the writer to get something off the chest… to at least enjoy the illusion that what they say matters.
The more I read about Blizzard’s employees celebrating Dear Leader Bobby Kotick’s departure the more I’m of the opinion that in the past feedback has not mattered - even when it came from his own executive team.

But I’m hopeful that under this new management situation - it will matter in a larger sense.
I’m not going to search up the WQ change from the beginning of this expansion, but here’s the outfit one:
Have you checked wowhead???
Sometimes the feedback matters, sometimes it doesn’t. They continue to ignore all the feedback regarding rares in Zaralek and Forbidden Reach.
We the players just haven’t gotten around to understanding the sheer genius of killing off their world content before the season is even halfway through.
We’ll see it eventually, I’m sure of it.

Not necessarily, history shows they also can and do respond to organic/grassroots backlash
Most recent example of this is when “Pathfinder” announcement thread got posted and very quickly (within 24 hours) the community blew it up into a 500+ reply/feedback megathread complaining about the Renown 15 requirement
Sure enough, a Blue noticed the backlash and chimed into the thread a day or two later to announce they were suddenly backpedaling/removing the Renown requirement
Feedback has gotten a reaction from them here and there, but in almost every case it involved the community responding “in force” with sudden, MASSIVE backlash when X change is announced (…such as the community launching an impromptu 500+ megathread full of complaints)

Not on the wow forum.
They are quite happy to listen to reddit frontpage tho.
100% no
after years of watching them ignore class feedback on alpha/beta… I’ve got no doubt they don’t care what feedback we give.
